CBB60 30µF 250VAC Motor Start-Run Capacitor – for Washer Pumps
This CBB60 30µF (30MFD) 250VAC capacitor uses metallized polypropylene film in a flame-retardant case with 2-wire leads, built for start-run duty in single-phase AC motors. A direct replacement for washing machine drain pump motors, larger small-appliance motors, and light commercial pump units where 30µF is the specified value.
Key Features
- ✅ Type: CBB60 metallized polypropylene film capacitor
- ✅ Capacitance: 30µF (30MFD)
- ✅ Rated Voltage: 250V AC
- ✅ Duty: Motor start-run (continuous run with start assist)
- ✅ Leads: 2-wire outlet (tinned copper, non-polarized)
- ✅ Self-healing dielectric – recovers from micro-breakdown
- ✅ Low dissipation factor – runs cool under load
- ✅ Flame-retardant molded case (UL94-V0 class typical)
- ✅ RoHS compliant, no PCB

Applications
- Washing machine drain pump motors (30µF spec)
- Washer spin / circulation pump motors
- Dishwasher drain pump motors
- Small water pump & fountain pump motors (250V class)
- Single-phase AC induction motors requiring 30µF start-run assist
- Compactor / small appliance motors
20µF vs 30µF – Which Do You Need?
- 20µF: Common on smaller drain pumps (most front-load washers).
- 30µF: Used on larger pumps or machines with higher starting torque requirements (some top-load, commercial, or pump+spin combo units).
- Don't guess: Read the old capacitor's label. Using the wrong µF changes motor torque and can cause overheating.
Wiring & Replacement
- Non-polarized: Either wire goes to either motor terminal per the appliance schematic.
- Power off + discharge: Unplug the washer, discharge old cap before touching leads.
- Match values: Replace with 30µF ±5% and 250VAC or higher. Never drop to a lower voltage class.
- Symptom check: Pump hums but won't spin = classic failed run cap. Swap before condemning the motor.
Why This Cap
A washer pump that buzzes but won't turn is almost always a dead capacitor, not a burned-out motor. This CBB60 30µF 250VAC restores starting torque with low-loss PP film that stays cool through repeated high-torque starts. Self-healing dielectric means occasional overstress won't immediately kill it, and the 2-wire lead-out drops straight into existing connectors. If your machine calls for 30µF, this is the right part.
